Act
Vitamin-mineral complex is aimed at the regeneration and maintenance of metabolic processes in the body, these actions are due to the balanced composition of the combined drug.
Retinol is a powerful antioxidant that regulates epidermal regeneration and hair restoration. Its deficiency can adversely affect vision, in addition, with a lack of vitamin A, mucous membranes of epithelial cells are damaged, and keratinization of the skin is intensified. Adequate amounts of retinol help improve skin, hair, and nails. A lack of vitamin A in the first trimester of pregnancy can adversely affect the formation and development of the fetus. This trace element is a barrier from infection to the mother and child. In addition, it prevents any malformations, including respiratory, cardiovascular, genitourinary and visual organs of the fetus.
Thiamine regenerates DNA, and also takes part in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Its deficiency during pregnancy increases the risk of developing neural tube disorders of the fetus; it can cause premature birth and acute heart failure in the infant.
Riboflavin prevents aging processes by neutralizing the negative effects of radicals on deoxyribonucleic acid and cell membranes, and prevents cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms. Vitamin B 2 improves the condition of the nervous system, liver, skin and mucous membranes. The onset of symptoms of cerebral position is considered a consequence of its insufficiency.
Niacin regulates the functions of the nervous system. It activates inhibitory processes in the central nervous system, mitigating the manifestation of neurosis and hysteria. Its lack for a long time can be manifested by rare dizziness, sleep disturbance, migraine and irritability.
Adermin and cobalamin provide the exchange of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, the appearance of red blood cells, have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the liver. It has pronounced antidepressant properties and has a positive effect on the nervous system. Vitamin B 6 deficiency is manifested by loss of appetite, nausea, irritability, and depression. A sufficient number of pyridoxine reduces the concentration of non-proteinogenic amino acids, increases the likelihood of conception.
Biotin normalizes the processes of energy and general metabolism, the work of the nervous system. In addition, it helps to preserve youthful skin, healthy mucous membranes and hair.
Folic acid during pregnancy helps to improve blood counts, a positive effect on the health of the mother and fetus.
Calciferol is necessary for the absorption of calcium, as well as the normal functioning of the muscular system. Together with good nutrition and exercise, with sufficient intake of magnesium and calcium, vitamin D maintains the functional activity of bone tissue and slows down the destruction process. In the treatment of signs of decreased bone density, a combination of calciferol and calcium shortens the treatment period for fractures and reduces the risk of repeated fractures.
Tocopherol is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells, tissues and organs from the negative effects of free radicals. A sufficient amount of vitamin prevents the acceleration of aging processes, the appearance of various pathologies and disorders, including the cardiovascular system.
Ascorbic acid helps to ensure the density of the vascular walls, participating in the process of combining natural connective tissues - fibrillar protein and elastin. Collagen is the main protein of blood vessels, skin, tendons, cartilage and ligaments.
In conjunction with other antioxidant substances, including tocopherol and beta-carotene, ascorbic acid protects vision, slows down the process of deterioration. It also enhances the bioavailability of iron and its regeneration in chelate complexes. Vitamin C stimulates the absorption of drugs containing iron. Ascorbic acid is actively involved in the growth and restoration of tissues, the healing of wounds and abrasions, and the preservation of teeth.
Iron is an integral part of hemoglobin. This element is involved in the processes of blood formation and the transfer of oxygen by blood from the lungs to tissues. Iron is considered the main component of biological oxidation, which fill the body with energy.
A lack of calcium increases the risk of osteoporosis. The optimal intake of calcium at a young age ensures the correct development of the skeleton and the achievement of a genetically predetermined weight. Adequate calcium in the elderly reduces the development of osteoporosis and its severity.

Helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis and anemia, provides maximum support for the health of hair, skin and nails.
